Batch Code Help

Golden Artist Colors manufacturers all of our paint with distinct batch codes.  We actually store samples of paint from every batch to ensure longterm quality.  We require the batch code of any non-performing product so we can track if there was a larger issue with a partiucular batch - while rare, we like to make sure.

Batch codes are attached to the product differently based on the container and actually over time we've changed models to suit manufacturing challenges.  Here are some examples of what we're looking for.

Spray cans, like our Archival Varnish, are printed on multiple lines.  Please include all of the characters.  Separate lines with a space.
